addressing critical needs
Poverty and Hunger
Food Insecurity Leads to Chronic Malnutrition
Sadly, 50% of children under the age of five are affected by chronic malnutrition, placing Guatemala among one of the world's worst.
We partner with
Kids Against Hunger to get highly nutritional meals to those who live in areas most affected by food insecurity. In 2023 over one million meals were sent to Guatemala.
Healthcare
Guatemala Has Limited Hospital Infrastructure
The healthcare system is illustrated by a limited number of hospitals and uneven distribution of health facilities across the country. This results in inadequate healthcare services to its population of 17 million people.
We partner with
Good Samaritan Hospital
in Chichicastenago. We have assisted in putting in an eye clinic, maintenance work, and in providing medical supplies and Kids Against Hunger meals.
Education
Adult Illiteracy – Guatemala Ranks 4th in the World
Guatemala spends less on education than the regional average. Access to schools and tuition are only a couple of major hindrances to school attendance. Classrooms may lack basic supplies, books, desks, etc. needed to provide a proper learning environment. Poverty is also an obstacle to education, especially for indigenous people. We work with and support local Christian schools to ensure that basic needs are met and students have the opportunity for scholarships through sponsors.
Community Development
Building infrastructure, providing clean water, and supporting small businesses are essential for community development. Your support helps fund these initiatives allowing Guatemalans to become self-sufficient while thriving in their own communities. We accomplish this by hosting short and long-term mission groups. We offer these groups opportunitis to serve "the least of these" as we are all called to do by Jesus in the scriptures.
Disaster Relief
Guatemala is prone to natural disasters like earthquakes and hurricanes. This small country contains 37 volcanoes! Financial aid is crucial for providing emergency relief and rebuilding efforts after natural disasters devastate poverty-stricken portions of the country.
empowering communities
Sustainability
By supporting our local initiatives, you help build self-reliance and long-term sustainability in areas of Guatemala experiencing severe poverty. Our goal is to give Guatemalans independence and freedom with long-term, sustainable financial solutions.
PartnershipS
Your financial contributions allow our mission to partner with local churches and organizations, strengthening their impact on the community. From food banks to homeless shelters, we support Guatemalans serving and taking ownership of their communities.
Training and Development
Investing in the training of local leaders equips them to continue our work well after external support ends. We aim to light the path for Guatemalans, showing them the way of Christ-centered self-sustainability. That is our goal, and it's the best gift we could ever give to them!
Spreading the Gospel Internationally
Evangelism
Financial support enables missionaries to share the Gospel message with those who have never heard it. Help us bring Christ to every corner of the globe!
Church Planting
Establishing new churches and supporting existing congregations is essential for spiritual growth. Your donations construct houses of God that'll last for decades.
Discipleship
Providing resources for discipleship programs helps believers grow in their faith. Our mission aims to generate the Christian Leaders of tomorrow in Guatemala.
